Hi Jos! In Nicaragua i always try to go to the locals event, like FLISOL, SFD, openSUSE Days, and LinuxTour. but I didn't know that opensuse could you sponsor the costs for hotel and travel. In Central America are 2 big international events: Encuentro Centroamericano de software libre(Centro American meeting of free software) and the other i don't remember the name, i just know that the event is in Guatemala LOL 2010/9/8, Satoru Matsumoto :

LinuxCon Japan - who is going there next year? Will there be openSUSE peeps staffing a booth? Anyone up for that?

I myself didn't attend LinuxCon Japan last year, but as far as I know, there wasn't any booth by FLOSS communities at the site last year and there won't be this year, neither. It is a session-oriented event and since it costs $300 ($75 for students) to attend it, there will be only few consumers and end users (most attendees are core developers and business persons).

So, if you are going to attend this event next year, there might be 2 options:

- Novell will sponsor the event and you are going to have a talk session as one of the Novell employees by using reserved time frame for sponsors. e.g. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/2010/linuxcon-japan/kroah-hartman http://events.linuxfoundation.org/2010/linuxcon-japan/bottomley

- Apply for the session as community manager of openSUSE project aside from Novell.

I'm not sure whether I will be able to attend the event next year or not ATM, but I'd like to be there and help you any way I can. ;-)

Thank you very much for your input. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of events asking (a lot of) money for entry so I have to think about it... Thanks to the offer of helping, I might call you out on that ;-)

Cheers, Jos

Start with the openSUSE conference ;-)

But seriously, that's cool of course but I can hardly ask you to fly to Japan for a conference. Would be a bit expensive for you and I can't cover the costs for that either...

Hi, Please don't take my words as true because I need more research for this. I was reading on Fedora LATAM they are considering to plan a FUDCON on march 2011 at Ciudad del Saber (City of Knowledge), Panama with RedHat making a sponsorship. If is it true maybe we can make some synergy there to attract openSUSE people from other latitudes. Would you consider this an opportunity to spread and making openSUSE visible regionally. Next month, October, Michael "Monty" Widenius is supposed to visit Panama to give a Talk about MariaDB to stimulate developers. True or Not I will see soon. Another opportunity to bring presence for openSUSE and SUSE on this region.

i think in Brazil it will be good country to concentrate all Latin American's ambassadors ;) 2010/9/22, Jos Poortvliet :

For South America that sounds like a pretty interesting spot. See if we have some Mexican friends here too, anyone from the carribean of course... For Brazil it's probably doable, yet it ain't to crazy from the US.

And cooperating with Fedora, why not. Depends of course on interest from our ambassadors in the region both in terms of organisation and attending. And to what extend fedora wants us there ;-)

Well keep us updated and see if anyone in the region seems interested in this opportunity. I will be visiting Brazil in November (Latinoware) and will try to keep this in mind as a potential future meeting spot.

Well it looks like is true Michael "Monty" Widenius is going to be the first presenter at http://www.congresoconocimientolibre.org.pa/ as you could notice at the scrolling marquee announcement previous hyperlink. It will happen on october 20-22, 2010 at Universidad Tecnologica de Panama.

... and I completely made an ass of myself suggesting that in november you could discuss having previous october as a 'future meeting spot' lol Ok, so it is very soon - during the openSUSE conference even... Wel, you'll need to rely on local cool SUSE peeps it seems... But if there is anything we can do for you, say so :D

Best regards,

And what about the opensuse conference? i think there will be a good oportunities for all the ambassadors to meet us, and talk about future projects in our countrys

Absolutely. However, flying in from Asia, Brazil - I'm not sure how many ambassadors can afford that and we don't have the budget to reimburse them for it. So going to more local events is still important.
